Having a hard time reading the feature match recaps because some of the pictures are covering large blocks of text. If someone could fix that, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.

Extended didn't rotate, it was gutted.

Indeed. Let's just hope they actually get the result they are looking for with this move.

The good news is they have the Pro Tour thread where everyone can actually find it again. Hopefully we'll see some good participation now that it is not in a secret location. I'll be able to catch some of the first round due to my current night-owl shift. Used to be lucky to get up in time to see the end.

Two similar control decks ("Teferi's Last Stand") could conceivably make it to the top table. Chances are not good for it, but I personally would enjoy it over the creature features littering the rest of the field.

How were the Limited and Constructed results pooled? It seems to me that it was the draft performance what gave those players a top8 spot with the actual Extended results being somewhat irrelevant, which is quite disappointing.

If Limited gets in the way of printing good Constructed cards...
Screw limited

The results are pooled like in any swiss event (3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss). There were 6 rounds of draft and 10 rounds of extended. Nobody in the top 8 lost more then two rounds of constructed. You had to not be terrible at draft to top 8, but the 10 rounds of constructed weren't in any way irrelevant.

There were MORE rounds of Constructed than Limited, so quite the opposite is true: the Constructed portion mattered more than the Limited portion.

In fact, Kai went 3-3 in Draft and 9-1 in Extended. So, Extended ended up being super-relavent for him.
